system
[CF04200( GV)12/95]
For maximum heating, move the SELECT knob
to FLOOR, move the TEMP knob to the end of
the red range (full clockwise) and move the fan
speed to HI.
% [CF04400( GV)12/95]
To heat the interior of your vehicle and defrost
the windshield at the same time, move the
SELECT knob to MIX and select the temperature
and fan speed desired.
[CF04600( GV)12/95]
For maximum defrosting, move the SELECT
knob to DEFROSTV, move the temperature to
the end of the red range (full clockwise) and
operate the fan as necessary to provide the
volume of air required.
% [CF04800( GV)12/95]
For ventilation, move the SELECT knob to VENT
and select the temperature and blower speed
desired.
[CF05000( GV)12/95]
To cool the inside of your vehicle quickly, in
warm weather, move the SELECT knob to MAX
A/C, move the TEMP knob to the end of the
blue range (full counterclockwise) and move the
fan to HI.

If the inside of the vehicle is very warm, drive
for the first few minutes with the windows open
to force the hot, stale air out of the vehicle.
[CF05400( GV)12/95]
Fan speed can be reduced, after a comfortable
temperature has been reached, to provide quieter
system operation.
[CF05600( GV)12/95]
To cool your vehicle using outside air, move the
SELECT knob to NORM A/C, move the TEMP
knob to the end of the blue range (full
counterclockwise) and set the fan to the desired
speed. Cooling your vehicle in this way provides
quieter operation, but it is not as economical as
MAX A/C.
[CF05800( GV)12/95]
The instrument panel registers may be adjusted
to control the quantity and direction of air being
discharged. The thumbwheel controls the volume
of air and the knob in the center of the register
directs the air up and down or side to side.
[CF06000( GV)12/95]
When the SELECT knob is moved to OFF, the
system is off and the fan will not operate.

Adjusting the panel register airflow
[CF06200( BCGV)04/96]
The instrument panel registers may be adjusted
to your comfort needs. The thumbwheel controls

Electronic Automatic Temperature Control
System
*
[CF08800( GV)05/96]
The Electronic Automatic Temperature Control
(EATC) module is located at the center of the
instrument panel and operates only when the
key is in the ON position.
*
[CF08900( GV)12/95]
The EATC feature maintains the temperature
you select and automatically controls the airflow
for your comfort. It also allows you to override
the automatic operation with manual override
buttons.

To turn your EATC off, press the OFF button.
When the system is off, the display window will
be blank (dark) except when OUTSIDE TEMP
has been selected. Then, OUTSIDE TEMP and
the temperature will appear in the window.
*
[CF09300( GV)01/96]
If you select AUTOMATIC, the system will
automatically determine fan speed and airflow
location. If an override button is selected, your
selection determines airflow location only. Fan
speed remains automatic unless you override it
by rotating the vertical thumbwheel located at
the extreme right of the control panel.
*
[CF09400( GV)12/95]
To change the temperature in the display
window, select any temperature between65ÊF
(18ÊC) and 85ÊF (29ÊC)using the BLUE (cooler)
or RED (warmer) buttons. The Electronic
Automatic Temperature Control will do the rest.
*
[CF09500( GV)12/95]
If you want continuous maximum cooling, push
the BLUE button until60ÊF (16ÊC) isshown in
the display window. Your EATC will cool at
maximum and disregard the60ÊF (16ÊC)setting
until you select a warmer temperature with the
RED button. If you want continuous maximum
heating, push the RED button until90ÊF (32ÊC)
is shown in the display window. Your EATC
will provide maximum heat regardless of the
90ÊF (32ÊC)setting until you select a cooler
temperature with the BLUE button.

The display window tells you how the system is
operating. It will indicate the selected
temperature and the operating function you
have chosen; AUTO or one of the six manual
overrides. It will also indicate manual
(thumbwheel) control of the fan speed with the
Hsymbol. The display window with all possible
displays and their positions are shown here.
Normally not all are shown at the same time but
are included here to familiarize you with the
names and symbols.

[CF09900( GV)01/96]
Push the AUTOMATIC button and select the
desired temperature. The selected temperature
and AUTO will be shown in the display

[CF10100( GV)12/95]
When in AUTOMATIC and weather conditions
require heat, air will be sent to the floor. But, a
feature is included in your EATC to prevent
blowing cold air to the floor if the engine
coolant is not warm enough to allow heating.
For a short time the fan will be at low speed
and air directed to the windshield. In 3-1/2
minutes or less, the fan speed will start to
increase and the airflow will change to the floor
area.
*
[CF10200( GV)12/95]
If unusual conditions exist (i.e., window fogging,
etc.), the six manual override buttons allow you
to select special air discharge locations. A
thumbwheel allows you to adjust the fan speed
to suit your needs.
*
[CF10300( GV)03/96]
Temperature selection
*
[CF10400( GV)12/95]
The RED and BLUE buttons at the upper left of
the Control are for temperature selection. The
RED button will increase the set temperature
and the BLUE button will lower the set
temperature. Pressing a button and releasing it
will change the set temperature one degree.
Holding either button in will rapidly change the
temperature setting in one degree increments to
either65ÊF (18ÊC)(BLUE) or85ÊF(29ÊC)(RED).
Then, the set temperature will jump 5Ê and stop
at either60ÊF (16ÊC)which is maximum cooling
or 90ÊF (32ÊC)which is maximum heating.

[CF10600( GV)01/96]
The average temperature range used is between
68ÊF (20ÊC) and 78ÊF (26ÊC).Changing the
temperature setting by several degrees outside
this range will not speed up the heating or
cooling process.

Temperature display
*
[CF10800( GV)05/96]
The selected temperature displayed in the
window can be set for either ÊF or ÊC. Your car
may have an English/Metric (E/M) Button to
change your speedometer from miles to
kilometers. When pressed, this button also
changes the temperature display. With or
without an E/M Button, the temperature display
can also be changed to ÊF or ÊC using the MAX
A/C and DEFrost override buttons.

To change the temperature display to ÊF or ÊC,
press and hold the MAX A/C and DEF Buttons
at the same time for 3/4 second. The display
will change. If you continue to press the two
buttons, the display will continuously switch
between ÊF and ÊC. If the temperature display
does not agree with the speedometer on vehicles
with an E/M button, pressing the E/M button
will make them agree.

Fan speed and thumbwheel
*
[CF11200( GV)12/95]
Your EATC automatically adjusts the fan speed
to the existing conditions. You must push
AUTOMATIC for automatic fan speed operation.
To control the fan speed yourself, use the
thumbwheel which will cancel the automatic fan
speed control. The thumbwheel is located at the
extreme right side of the EATC control panel. It
is a vertical control marked with a fan symbol.
Rotate up for HI and down for LO speeds.
